I can remember reading a book as a young girl titled something like City mouse and country mouse.  Or maybe it was the other way around.  The gist of it was that a mouse used to the country went to visit a mouse that lived in the city and was overwhelmed by the experience and glad to get home again.  Well, I can empathise with the country mouse.  I am NOT a city girl!  I get anxiety attacks when I am in a crowd!  And cities are crowded!  I like the country!  Yup, I’m a country girl!  I have friends that live in cities, and they invite me to come visit them.  I DO go visit them and I have a good time, but I’m always glad to come home again!

Well, I heard that the groundhog saw his shadow this morning!  Six more weeks of winter!  I’m unhappy about that, I’m tired of the cold this year.  I don’t know why it has bothered me more this year than usual.  Though come to think of it, it is probably because I’ve got the thermostat set lower to save energy and money.  That is probably the real reason!  Thank goodness for long johns and warm sweaters!
